Tba other day Manager Tria Speaker rid himself of the following bit of philosophy: "No one expects ua to retrain the championship this year, which gives us a good da&uce to win," years, seems to have settled down to the business at hand. It Is upon Pfeffer that we hang the .proof of our prediction. -Ha is a groat right hander when he wants to be and e appears to be in the mood now. "Write this one down on your frayed cuif; watch Jeff Pfeffer this year. The Cards are weak aa water and soup behind the plate, but have eight outfielders ajnd may be able to swinsr one cr more of these into a trade for a catcher. The pirates are selected for third place. One can do no less by an outfit that can summon such pitchers as Cooper, Adams, Hamilton, Carlson, Giazner, Morrison. Tellowhorse and Zinn. The punch is not there, however at least, it doesn t seem to be although you never can tell what a young player will do and the Pirates are experimenting with several of these. The Braves, figuring to fret fine pitching from McQuillan, esehger, Watson and possibly Fillingir. With the esihs Marquard bobbing up with a well-pitched game occasionally, up with the front runners all the way, particularly eince the pitching' will be supported by a fine hitting outOeld and first class catching.

By defeating the Haruir.ond Maroons 11 to 6 Wednesday night at the Irving school gym,, the All Saints 90's won the championship in the 90-pound class.

Preparations for the entry of the United States team in the 192 , Olympiad will be under way wftfiii the next few months, it was stated yesterday by members of tho American Olympic association. - Under the decision awardinjr the meet to Pershing Etadttim, near Paris, it is 'relieved h-;fe that, while track and field competition conditions will be satisfactory ' for the participants, the spectators will lack in accommodations;.' "Pershing stadium is n-l the place for Paris to stage the 1924 Olympic games, but wherever it is held we will go and go cheerfully." Guftavus T. Kirby, president of the American Olympic committee, said today. It is understood that much reconstruction work will havo to be done to bring the stadium up to a satisfactory standard. The track and infield will have to be resurfaced. The stands surround the entire field, but only a small section, originally intended for officials and prominent spectators-, ia roofed.

While Miller Husrsrins is still worryinj? into the wee sraa' hours about his outfield. John McGraw, in another southern town, can be found pacing the floor at times, wonderinjr when in blue blazes his pitching staff is going: to round to and show fair form. As his mound staff stacks up now Art Nehf is the only member who shows signs of beine ready to go the route when the time comes. The work of Jess Barnes to date has been particularly discouraging to McGraw and the scribes with the club. Even the youngsters, who normally are expected to shine in the spring at least, have failed to look eood in the exhibition games. The situation isnt exactly critical, but McGraw's team will get away to a bad start in what promises to be even a tougher race than that of last year if his hurlers fail to shape up. The situation has been relieved somewhat by the decision of the wandering Phil Douglas recently to join the team. Douglas has been a holdout for oh, these long weeks. Wasn't even scared, he averred, by McGraw's threat to dispose of him. But when McGraw just let the matter drop Phil got lonesome and wired for transportation. Another indication of the way women are daily acquiring new freedom seen in the fact that girls' basketball teams In many colleges now piay their games before mixed crowds. Jn former years all males were not only barred from the college gym when the girls staged a game, but every effort was made to keep prying eyes from windows and doors. Pancho Villa's coming to the U.

A three-round knockout victory over George Mendies, Australian fly and bantam king, is one of his most notable achievements. He has also licked Georgie Lee. Chinese bantam, who gained . quite a rep in California and later appeared in the east. , The Louisville Colonels, pennant winners in the Amerizan Association last season, closely resembles a big league club as far as the names in the lineup are concerned. Among the notable athletes now performing with . the Kentucky team who at one time wore big league uniforms are Pitchers Nick Cullop, Ben Tincnp and Ernie Koob. In the infield are Betzel, Kirke and Schepner. Among the outfielders fighting for berths are Lamb and Massey. One of the catchers is Monk. Most of the boys got their chance in the American league. .-.' Manager Wilhelm of the Phillies means . business. If the Quaker City team proves to be a bloomer again this year it will not be because of lack of effort on Irvings part to whip it into good condition. He surprised the boys the other day by announcing that two training sessions a day would be the rule until the team broke camp for the ride home. Lefs match the Gibbons brothers, Tom and Mike.

Big Crowd Of Sportsmen Is Expected

The largest crowd of sportsmen ever assembled in Hajtimond is expected to tarn out Mcnday evening for the regular monthly meeting of the Lake County "Fish & Game Protective Association. Because of the special features whilch will appeal to so many, the K. of P. hall at Tl oh man and Ogdon streets has 'been rented. The. meeting opens at S o'clock. , George Ifanfeld. superintendent of fisheries and gamn for Indiana has been booked as the principal speaker. Oid Sportsmen knows what that means. H is bringing with him four reels of motion pictures which will Illustrate his lecture. The pictures show the work of the conservation department sls it relates to fish and jame. The $-reat hatcheries where the 'ringer! ing bass, pickerel and other flsh ens raised for s'ocklng lakes and streams are shown. Mr. Mannfeld tells the detail? of this worlc. He describes in an interesting manner the way bass make their nssts, lay the eggs and then guard them until they are hatched. Many other stories will enliven de evening. He has the work at heart and can hand out more real information in an hour than any other man in Indiana. He can teil the age of a bass at a glanee, which is some trick. It is doubtful if one man in a hundred can tel! the age of a three-pounder. No admission will be charged to this meeting which is open to all sportsmen, their wives and families.

ALL SAINTS END SEASON IN VICTORY Tho All Saints C. O. F. and the Hammond Hebrew Jr. ended their basket bail season last Tuesday evening at the Lafayette gym, where these two teams met. The All Saints defeated the Hebrews 34 to 4. This was the sesond time that these two teams met, All Saints taking the first game 20 to 10, which was played early in the season. The feature of Tuesday's game was the all-around playing of the AH Saints team and above all the wonderful shooting of Francis "Pebbles" Eberle, the little All Saints! boy wonder. . With Lberle's shooting and the great team work, All j Saints had the gama on ice in the first quarter with tho score of 8-0. The second quarter was like thatj of the first only except that Sla-in stepped into the lime light by making three baskets one after another. The half ended with All Saints having 17 and the Hebrews 0. The second half started with the changing of three men from the All Saints llne-np, but they kept on baffling the Hebrews. Eberle and Slavin kept on making baskets, but the kind of baskets that were shot by Eberle was the hair-raising kind, and when he shot ons over his head he had to be taken out because they didn't allow thosa kind of shots in light weight games. Then the Hebrews broke in on the scoring by making two baskets, but that was all they made. There is ?io much more to say, only that it was the biggest basket ball surprise of the season. The All Saints management wishes to thank the fans for their loyal support during the last season, and promises them a better team next season.
